Neither Kashmir (nor Khalistan earlier) can be resolved by countering terror with force alone.

The problem arises from false histories, cutting from Hindu ethos. Any part of India cut from Hindu civilization will fall. Indian State fails in narratives.

sankrant.org/2003/10/why-in…
Unfortunately the BJP (from RSS roots) is terrible at narrative building. It fails in the academia and media ecosystem. Congress, of course, never had Indic intent. This is the reason India fails miserably in telling its story in the world. The problem stems from Indian academia.
As someone investing my savings and entire energy in building an Indic ecosystem, I'd like to put on record that there is ZERO support from the BJP or the govt for this. Tag whoever you want, but it's the reality.

This is in stark contrast to how the Congress-Left cultivate and support their ecosystem. Heck VP Ansari even built RS TV using govt funds just for ecosystem, channelled money to The Wire. This is how far they go to support.

Doesn't come from thin air.
Why blame how foreign media writes about India when the same agenda is pushed at Indian universities without any change under the BJP?

In Kathmandu Nepal for the World Sanskrit Conference.

Struck by how this Hindu country, poorer than India, is still so much cleaner.

We have we utterly failed in local public amenities in India and why does no one care enough? Image
India has been turned into a vast garbage dump.

I assign 60% of the responsibility to dysfunctional local government and 40% to the apathy of people who do not demand accountability and change.
The state is extractive and predatory.

It subverts the people.

An Indian Muslim @ShoaibIND put out this tweet.

How did other Muslims respond to it? A 🧵 Image
Can't be happy cope.

If you seek to be happy, loved and prosperous who have failed the "main mission" of a Muslim.

How can we stop insulting others' gods, even prophet did it. Image
Someone who is all about "healing" finds their inner abuser. Image

How @theliverdr pushes ideologically motivated garbage.

In a long post he claims that “science says” Giloy caused liver toxicity; in the same post he dismisses a study on Ashwagandha as garbage.

For the case against Giloy his reference is the propaganda rag, @thewire_in! 😏 Image
The Wire article further references an “observational study” which has a total sample size of 6 people!

No doubt this study is conducted by other Liver doctors trained in allopathy alone; and specifically targeting Giloy “twigs.”

Other than the limited sample size, the AYUSH response states that it is very easy to confuse Giloy with a similar, but toxic, plant; the “scientific” study didn’t actually even check if the correct plant was used.Image
So this 6-person study with any randomized control or double-blind test, where motivated researchers isolate a perhaps pre-determined conclusion is called “science.” Now let’s see what this doctor calls “underpowered garbage” which was “never done methodically.” Image

Europeans, particularly Germans, were so desperate for an “Aryan” identity based on Hindu texts because they had very little history or identity of their own.

The Germanic tribes were barbarians with little durable language or culture. To lay claim to Sanskrit and related knowledge allows them to attach to a glorious history.
The Germans weren't successors of Rome. The Italians had history, the Greeks had history, even the British could harken to a Celtic history, what did the Germans have?

This is how they became "Aryan" laying claiming to Sanskrit and Indo-European origins.

Lol, not Hitler was born and died a Christian. He was merely continuing anti-semitic policies of Popes in the past.

"Aryan" was not a religion to him, but a "race." Race itself is a construction of Europe, and he claimed to belong to the "Aryan race."

Some direct excerpts from the translation of "al-jabr" by Mohammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, from which the term Algebra comes.

Note this translation is from 1831. After 1857 British and Western scholarship started denigrating Indian knowledge as an explicit policy. Image
Firstly, the translator Frederic Rosen makes explicit that Al Khwarizmi did not invent Algebra, and that this was "well-established" in scholarship, but that he was the "first Mohammedan" to write upon it. 2/ Image
That Al Khwarizmi did not invent Algebra is attested by many, and even by the Al Khwarizmi himself in the preface where he states that the Caliph Al Mamun, encouraged him to write a popular work on the topic, implying that there were existing works he would use. Which were these?

Translator himself concludes that "at least part of the information is drawn from an Indian Source", based on his knowledge alone.

45 years ago “science” said ghee was terrible and my father switched us to dalda, marketed as a substitute, from ghee.

Now science tells us ghee is good and hydrogenated oil is the worst.

Lesson: Don’t follow 2-year old “science” studies. Follow 1000-yr old tradition.
See my thread on this.
Traditions (not religions) are scientific knowledge tested and passed down over generations.

Scientific studies are time-limited and ephemeral; their results are easily overturned by the next study and are in many cases irreproducible.
